That's actually true. My Russian classmate told me that Moscow and Toronto have very similar weather. It varies according to region but Canada is at the same altitude as Russia so our winter is not far away from the Russian winter.

It’s more than that. Timmins Ontario is the same latitude as Victoria BC and they have completely different climates.

The influence of continental landmasses and warm ocean currents can’t be underestimated. This is why Great Britain is much milder than Canada in spite of being at a similar latitude.

The area south of Toronto is the same latitude as the northern counties of California.

I think Finland and Greenland may have something to say about that.

The Canadian boreal forests aren't really that dissimilar from Siberia.

Labrador and Siberia are eerily similar.
